Why are you so concerned with "protest voters"? If every third party vote went to Democrats, Harris still would have lost.
It's way easier to blame a small amorphous group of people, but why don't you focus on winning? Harris got 6 million fewer votes than Biden. Do you think all those people stayed home because of Palestine?
Take this energy and put it towards something useful. Ignoring all the facts so you can punch left is pathetic.
It's more about the people who didn't vote at all.
Isn't that just non-voters? Not voting is viewed by literally everyone as "don't care", not a protest.
There were absolutely protest non-voters.
Foreign policy simply doesn't decide elections in the US. I'm sure there were some protests non-voters, but the idea that it was a significant majority of the 6 million is far fetched.
Doesn't matter. Even if they weren't the deciding factor, they still contributed and were still idiots that deserve to be shamed.
Good luck with that buddy.
